Status: Ran to catch a bus. The driver waited for me to reach the front door, then didn't open it and drove off.
He waited for me. Just to make a show of not letting me on.
What a dick.
If I miss the bus, fine. But wasting everybody on the bus' time specifically to taunt me? Are you a sociopath?
Ick. Reminds me of the one time that I was riding a bus to an appointment, and the bus driver insisted I had to get off the bus, walk several blocks, and wait 10-15 minutes to get on the very same vehicle I left!
Or when you are at a bus stop and the bus you want whizzes past as if you had a ring of invisibility active, for that matter...
It's not funny from either angle, unless you play EVE Online I guess.
It's not even funny in that sense...He also looked right at me as he took off, at which point I was literally in front of the door with my bus pass in hand.
Yuck. I'd be on the phone w/ Customer Service about this one...

No point. They can't do shit.

Take it to the manager then. Repeat recursively until results are obtained.

My general impression is that once they close the doors, they stay closed. Nothing short of a T-Rex .557 will get them to open them again. But waiting until you get to the door, making eye contact, then driving away — that's being an asshole.

He rage quit. He tried to revive the last religion flamewar in t/1000 a few days after it died out, he got told to let it go, and he left.
-
Is that your new favorite thing?
-
he got told to let it go
I don't know about others who asked him but i thought i was very polite about it....

What was public was mostly along the lines of "Dude, the arguments been dead for days. Just let it go." (there was a thing about "Let it go" to bug @boomzilla at the time). Everything that was public seemed polite. Can't really say as far as any PMs go.

Well ... someone changed the /t/1000 title to a Frozen reference that made fun of him a little.

That's right. It was "Lucas, just let it go". TBH, I did that with no intention of referencing Frozen. That, in turn, made @boomzilla think of Frozen, and that's how "Let it Go" became a thing.

Did it? I've never seen the movie nor even sat through the entirety of the song. Most of what I know about Frozen I learned from watching Once Upon a Time.
-
I thought I was the one who'd made the Frozen connection, or at least one of the ones who did:
I also was the one who changed the title to try and dissuade the conversation from continuing in the Likes thread (unsuccessfully).

Hmm, I must be thinking of someone else then ... Anyone remember who it was?
Edit: Ah, it was @ChaosTheEternal, as referenced in his post.

You could backtrack through http://what.thedailywtf.com/likesthread/1000/1 's edit history...
-
no, but i'm pretty sure i posted a youtube of the song when someone asked what it was all about.... i thought it was @boomzilla that asked but with my memory it could have been anyone from @godwin to @hilter

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK
DISCOURSE

.... right..... i always get these threads mixed up.

I am getting more and more shocked by discourse's brokenness.

I wonder if liking will cause a double-like.
-
Nope, it does nothing!
-
Were you changing window width? Cause that's the only way I can repro your screenshot.
-
-
Look at it.
@aliceif liked that post.
How about you like it, too, @aliceif?I've seen that a lot for half-baked posts.
-
That's not new. I would get it somewhat regularly in the Likes thread when I'm catching up.
-

Oh, I was talking about the user card position. That's messed up too.
-
i see that all the time. it happens when my bot like a post for me in /t/1000 and i'm also in /t/1000 at the time.
-
It was popped up from the avatar in the "liked this post" list, so it's at least "in position" from where it was launched.
-
Oh?
I don't remember having seen that in ages.Maybe I just don't look closely enough.
-
Oh, I was talking about the user card position. That's messed up too.
Wide window:
Keep card open and reduce window width:
I mean, I understand how they do that, but it's pretty trivial to test and fix.
-
I opened mine in the screenshot from the likers avatar list.
Not the avatar to the left of the post.
-
Yeah, but I didn't. ;)

i thought it was a bit weird but i couldn't place it...
but now that you mention it.... what's up with that post?

Take it to the manager then. Repeat recursively until results are obtained.
Do you honestly believe that would be a good use of my time?

Why are you guys bringing that t/1000 shit into this thread? And again, it's the moderators. Ugh.

He should definitely apologize for talking about another thread in
your threadNOT your thread.

Status: Wondering if i should point out that that whole subthread started with @abarker who is TL4, then I stepped in with a quick comment (i'm TL3) and @aliceif added a comment (she's TL4) then @boomzilla commented (the first actual staff member to do so)

Considering who you're pointing it out to, would there be any point?

yes actually, a very sharp one.

Status: why is my trashcan on my desk?
Because the cleaning staff are either incompetent or fucking with you. The ones in my building go through spells where it's never in the same place two days running.

By policy "4"s have to have better cubes than yours.
When I was contracting at Lucent in the 90s there was a guy in my building who had cube furniture in an office. There were no cubes available for him, so they had to put him in an office, but he didn't rate an office, so they turned it into a cube.
Or so I was told. Might've just been a story to tell new people.

I'm just reading the words on the screen.
No, you're assuming facts not in evidence, like you've been shown to do before.
